Description

This Low-Carb Mongolian Ground Beef & Cabbage is a one-pan meal bursting with garlicky-sweet flavor and crisp-tender cabbage. It’s quick, budget-friendly, and perfect for keto or low-carb dinners.

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

0.5 medium head green cabbage, shredded

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon olive oil

0.33 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

2 tablespoons brown erythritol

0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

0.25 cup chopped green onions

Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil and add the ground beef. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sweetener, and red pepper flakes. Pour the sauce into the skillet with the cooked beef.

3. Stir in the shredded cabbage. Toss everything together until the cabbage is coated in sauce. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but not mushy.

4. Remove from heat. Top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy hot as a full meal or side dish.

Notes

Let the cabbage steam covered, but uncover during the last few minutes to avoid sogginess.

Use coconut aminos to keep the dish gluten-free.

This dish is excellent for meal prep and freezes well for up to 2 months.
